From Hollywood, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Rob Rhonden: Photographer, also hosts a radio talk show and coaches bowling, is from Stormville, NY
Jennifer Burger: Married, is a computer programmer working for self, Huguenot, NY
Chris Westhoff: Married, is a First Sergeant with the National Guard, also an accountant for a small independent oil producer, Edmond, OK
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, and we are playing for cash.
But we introduce something different. It's the Surprise wedge, which works just like a regular prize, except that you don't know what it is unless you win. Simple as that.
And now it's time for the first puzzle:
Rob solves ABE LINCOLN'S HAT STYLE. So celebrate the winner of the $500 bonus!
Again, it's Rob with an answer of Stovepipe.
Other prizes will work the same as before. This time, we have Coleman 280 spa (labeled SPA) worth $3,495.
And don't forget the cash for some other delights, particularly the $2,500 space!
Jennifer solves DOCTOR OF VETERINARY MEDICINE.
The $3,500 space has some tough competition. Who will survive? Maybe they can co-operate! Time for our next puzzle:
Jennifer solves LONELY HEARTS CLUB SANDWICH.
Think about the abundance on the Wheel tomorrow (or later than that) with three prizes. Now back to this game, we'll add a West Wight Potter 15-foot sailboat (labeled BOAT) worth $7,595.
The $5,000 looks in a bit of annoyance. It still asks what could rival it in Round 4:
Jennifer solves AIN'T IT THE TRUTH. So now the time has come to go.
Ain't it a stinker? Chris was left with only some nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
There will always be plenty of surprises available in Bonus Land. Maybe not quite as mysterious but it's one of...
Sight and sound package (over $27,000)
Grand piano (over $23,000)
Private United Kingdom holiday (over $22,000)
Car ($29,000)
Good ol' American cash ($25,000)
She picks the W for win, and is unsurprisingly chided about the L (she says it's "lovely"). Here's the final puzzle:
RSTLNE gives her...
...very bad luck.
We'll see if HMCA can neutralize this:
After plenty of guesses, and with only two seconds remaining, she backs into the right answer of WAX!
She surprises us by winning a Volvo 940 GLS sedan worth $29,000! With $34,700, what could happen tomorrow?
